In most settings be it politics or even corporate life, the downside risk of saying "I did wrong. I'm sorry" is high

Rationalizing missteps pays off better than acknowledging mistakes - the latter is seen as a weakness

Yet few people cogitate on how to reduce this downside risk

One counter-argument to this is -

Rationalization and non-admission of supposed "mistakes" is a good thing, as it contributes to intellectual diversity

Else we sort of acknowledge there is one "right" course - and all other courses are "mistakes" that ought to be shunned

So one can make a conservative case for the status-quo by arguing that greater introspection is merely a cover for supporting the idea of "progress", and a means of suppressing the many varied forms of prejudices that contribute to intellectual diversity
